No Place Like Here | Christina June
6 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
From Christina June, author of It Started with Goodbye and Everywhere You Want to Be, comes No Place Like Here, a modern twist on Hansel and Gretel. Ashlyn Zanotti has big plans for the summer. Shes just spent a year at boarding school and cant wait to get home. But when Ashlyns father is arrested for tax evasion and her mother enters a rehab facility for exhaustion, her life is turned upside down. The cherry on top? Ashlyns father sends her to work with a cousin she doesnt even know at a rustic team-building retreat center in the middle of nowhere. A self-proclaimed indoor girl, not even Ashs habit of leaving breadcrumb quotesinspirational sayings she scribbles everywherecan help her cope. With a dangerously careless camp manager doling out grunt work, an overbearing father trying to control her even from prison, and more than a little boy drama to struggle with, the summer is full of challenges. And Ashlyn must make the toughest decision of her life: keep quiet and follow her dads marching orders, or find the courage to finally stand up to her father to have any hope of finding her way back home. Fans looking for clean teen fiction, with elements of drama, romance, friendship, and an unflinching look into navigating and improving even the most difficult parent-teen relationships need look no further.

Mehso-so

Ashlyn returns home from boarding school to find her father going to jail for tax evasion & her mother getting treated for depression. She‘s then sent to a woodland retreat with her cousin, but nothing there‘s going well either!

This was a charming & quick read about a young girl dealing with some really difficult things & discovering her own bravery. Although this didn‘t use as much of the Hansel & Gretel story as I would have liked. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I might be late to the party, but at least I‘m here!
I wasn‘t going to #readathon but all my work over spring break caught up with me and I‘m beat. So I‘m settling in on the couch to read. #deweys24hourreadathon
